Re: Advice on door latch post repair

There is a plate that is threaded to which the striker bolt goes in to. Unbolt the striker bolt, weld in your repair to the sheetmetal, and bolt the striker back in. I would probably replace the striker bolt while you are at it, and make sure it has the sleeve as well. Makes a huge difference in how the door latches.
